Chapter 226: At Stake
Han Yujin didn't dare to think about what would happen to Shen Yuanning after he was arrested by them.
The situation did not allow Han Yujin to have any delay, and she took Yuyan and Shen Wanning to the hiding place that had been discussed in advance.
When it was dawn, Shen Yuanning didn't come back, and Han Yujin's heart sank to the bottom.
Early that morning, when the Jingnan army launched another attack, as Han Yujin expected, in the Sifang city gate, the two southeast city gates guarded by the old part of Chengpingbo were opened wide and surrendered when the Jingnan army attacked.
With such a smooth progress, Zhou Chengan commanded the army to take the remaining two city gates in one fell swoop.
After that, he went straight to the palace.
At the same time, the Lu Changfeng and Lu Yuanfeng brothers, who joined Zhou Chengan, each brought a team of people to search for Han Yujin's whereabouts in the capital.
In the Ganlu Palace, King Chang was so anxious that he kept asking Feng Shi:
"Uncle, do you have any news?"
Feng Shi also frowned, and when he heard King Chang keep asking like this, he couldn't help but get bored.
scolded in my heart: useless things, treat my Lao Tzu as your Lao Tzu.
Thinking of the people who ran away from Ning Hedian last night, Feng Shi had another headache.
If it weren't for the fact that those generals had no worries, how could they surrender to Zhou Chengan so quickly.
Feng Shi looked at Zhou Chengchang and couldn't figure out what he was in his head?
Ning He Dianshu and the palace guards are so weak, isn't it obvious to let those people go?
Listening to the guards later, the person who rescued seemed to be Shen Yuanning. Feng Shi thought, if he guessed correctly, the woman next to him should be Han Yujin.
Feng Shi's hand gurgled, and he couldn't stop scolding those guards in his heart, he didn't even catch anyone, it was really useless.
"What are you doing looking at me like this?"
King Chang was a little intimidated by his heart, and said calmly.
Feng Shi lowered his head, retracted his gaze, and said:
"Back to Your Highness. There is no news yet. ”
That's when it happened. News came from outside the hall, and a Praetorian Guard ran in and replied nervously:
"Back to His Highness, the enemy army is concentrating firepower in Pingwumen, and Pingwumen's troops are tight."
King Chang listened to it. I was so anxious that I wanted to jump to my feet. is at a loss for Zhou Chengan's step-by-step approach.
Feng Shi frowned. The current situation. Even if it is held today, tomorrow will be dangerous, depending on the number of Janissaries. Far from being the opponent of the Jingnan Army and Jin Wuwei, it will definitely be lost in less than three days.
There was no news from Liaodong, and Feng Shi also knew that with the containment of the Northwest Army, there was little hope on the Liaodong side.
And this week, Zhou Cheng'an is the head of the Jingnan Army, as long as he is gone, when the King of Qianwang is not there, the Jingnan Army will not be a mess.
Feng Shi thought about it again and again, and already had a plan in his heart.
"Your Highness, please send someone to call the prince of Cheng'en."
The prince of Chengen is Wen Yi's elder brother.
Although King Chang didn't know what was the use of calling the prince of Chengen at this time, he had always been very convinced by Feng Shi, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, so he sent someone to call him.
Hearing that Zhou Chengan had successfully entered the city, Han Yujin sent Shen Wanning to Jiang's house, and took Yuyan back to King An's mansion.
As Han Yujin expected, King Chang was too busy to take care of himself, where was he still in the mood to take care of the situation outside the palace, and the people guarding King An's Mansion had already evacuated.
Zhou Chengan will definitely send someone to look for him after entering the city, the capital is so big, he can't find it for a while, so he won't be distracted.
After returning to King An's mansion, he sent Yuyan to the palace to give Zhou Chengan a letter, telling him that he was fine, so as not to worry about him anymore, and by the way, he asked him to find Shen Yuanning's whereabouts, and asked Yuyan to explain the cause and effect to him.
After that, Han Yujin was waiting for news at home.
Han Yujin didn't wait for Yuyan, but waited for another person: Li Weiji's grandmother.
When Han Yujin saw her, she only felt familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it, and it wasn't until she said her identity that Han Yujin remembered that she had indeed seen it in the Qianwang Mansion.
With her, there was also a general, wearing the clothes of the Jingnan Army, I saw that they looked panicked, and the woman was even more worried and said:
"My princess asked the slave maid to please enter the palace quickly!"
Han Yujin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she said eagerly, could it be that something happened in the palace?
Where is Li Weiji hiding these days?
"Where is your princess now?"
The woman leaned over and hurriedly replied:
"If Princess Hui'an is going to say, my princess is now in the palace."
People in the palace? Did Li Weiji just enter the palace, or was she in the palace all the time? Could it be that Zhou Chengan broke the imperial city? At this moment, what is the purpose of sending someone to call himself in a hurry?
Even if Zhou Chengan broke through the imperial city, there was chaos inside at this time, and now if he is accidentally injured when he enters the palace, it will really outweigh the losses.
Han Yujin glanced at her, then at the soldiers behind her, hesitated in her heart, and asked:
"Did your princess say anything?"
The woman listened to Han Yujin's question, and before she could speak, the soldier standing behind her stepped forward and said:
"Back to the princess, when Prince An entered the palace, he was plotted against by someone, and at this moment, ...... At this moment, please hurry up! ”
When Han Yujin heard this, he stood up abruptly and asked in a lost voice:
"What did you say?"
The soldier stubbornly said again:
"The prince is injured and in danger!"
Hearing it again, Han Yujin's mind was a little confused, what does it mean to be in danger?
How could he get hurt? How could he have been injured? Isn't the long wind and the long wind should follow him? How did he get hurt?
Han Yujin wanted to calm down her emotions, but found that no matter what she did, it was useless, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Lord Wang... How did he get hurt, and what about his entourage? ”
The soldier said angrily:
"It was the conspiracy of the prince of Chengen, there was no one around the prince at that time, the prince of Chengen pretended to kill a few guards on the palace wall, and then opened the palace door for the prince, after the prince entered the palace, the prince of Chengen said that Princess An was detained in a palace by the king of Chang, so the prince personally took people there, and he was plotted by him halfway."
Cheng'en Gongshizi!
It turned out to be Wen Yi's brother!
Han Yujin clenched her hands, her bones turned white, and at this moment, she had already believed the soldier's words.
When he first heard that King An and Qian rebelled and was burned to death in the palace, Han Yujin felt that something was wrong, obviously the Praetorian Guards were already under the control of Zhou Chengqian, why was the situation controlled by King Chang and Feng Shi so quickly?
Obviously, Li Weiji and Wen Yi are both Zhou Chengqian's people, will the fate of the Li family and Cheng'en Mansion be different?
It turned out that it was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Cheng En Gong reversed!
So Zhou Chengan and Zhou Chengqian were caught off guard without knowing or taking any precautions!
